Steele said it raised questions about Obama's priorities.

"Where is the focus?" Steele asked. "At a time of war, at a time of recession ... I think this trip is nice but not necessary for the president. The goal should be creating job opportunities not seven years from now, but job opportunities today."

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs laughed when told of Steele's criticism of Obama's trip.

"Who's he rooting for?" Robert Gibbs said. "Is he hoping to hop a plane to Brazil and catch the Olympics in Rio? I don't know. Maybe it's Madrid."

1. Even I wouldn't use such a lame argument

What a maroon.

What a surprise! NOT! nt

2. And where the hell was Bush when he got the August 6th PDB??

Clearing brush on a fake ranch. He was on vacation the entire month of August and we were attacked.

Shut the fuck up Steele.

3. Does Steele do anything but bitch and complain about Obama?

In this time of war and recession?

How 'bout some concrete policy proposals, bub.

4. Dumbass! There will still be a need for jobs in 7 years

Part of the meltdown of our economy has been the inability of the greed mongers to look beyond this quarter's balance sheet.

9. Yeah, but we all know those won't be "real jobs".

Another one of Steele's greatest hits, if you recall.

5. "At a time of war..... Steele criticizes Obama"

What was it the Republicans always said about criticizing * "in a time of war" when he was in office?

[ShortnFiery]

6. For the Democratic Party, Steele is the gift that keeps on giving.

Steele said what? :spray:

The GOP is truly out of touch with mainstream America.

7. Steele should ask himself why he associates with the party of racism

8. To whomever unrecced this thread:

You are either a troll or a dumb shit. Reporting that Michael "Fo shizzle" Steele has made yet another dumb ass comment does not imply approval of that comment. The OP was inviting discussion pertaining to the jackass. Try to wrap your head around that ... please?

10. Let's see: Obama pitches Olympics in Chicago, Bush cuts brush.
